I put the Innotech scale in a comparison against two other scales I own which are an older model Tanita BC-534 and Naked Labs body scale. Both the Innotech and Tanita use a technology called bioelectrical impedance analysis. This method is not the most accurate as a lot of variables can affect the results. Some advice on reducing the variables is do not step on the scale with a full stomach, make sure you’re hydrated, clean feet that are slightly damp are helpful and for tracking purposes; try to weigh yourself at the same time of the day as your body fluctuates throughout the day. The Naked Labs scale is a $1400 scale that uses infrared light to capture a 3D model of your body. It then uses a proprietary algorithm validated against DXA using a combination of metrics from the scan. They say it’s +/- 2.5% accuracy. For the testing I removed all clothing and jewelry except sport briefs. All scales where placed in the same spot in my room. While the Naked Labs scale doesn’t ask you to rate your level of activity, the other two scales do. While I have an office job, I work out six days a week. For the Tanita and Innotech I weighed myself as non-athletic and athletic. Results: Naked Labs: Weight: 207.6lbs / 20.4% body fat Innotech: Non-athletic: 207.2lbs / 24% body fat Athletic: 207.2lbs / 17.1% body fat Tanita BC-534: Non-athletic: 206.8lbs / 23.1% body fat Athletic: 206.8lbs / 13.9% body fat If I assume the Naked Labs scanner was the most accurate, it would make the Innotech the 2nd most accurate scale. Now to focus on the Innotech. In terms of construction, I think the Innotech looks the best and feels well-constructed. I also like that the numbers are big, clear and bright. Naked Labs #s can only be viewed on the App and the Tanita #s are hard to read. I typically have to bend down to look. The App for the Innotech is very informative and has a nice layout. One thing to remember when pairing your phone to the scale. Be sure your location services is turned on otherwise I couldn’t get it to pair. The app has 5 main sections: Goals: Allows you to set a target weight. Trends: A graph that can track your trends. Dashboard shows a lot of info on your last weigh in. Info: Has charts on what Fat % mean. Me: Info about yourself, ability to connect to FitBit or Google Fit. I found the app to be very informative and it also educates you on the different readings. In closing while the Innotech didn’t match the Naked Labs scale in its readings, it wasn’t far off and being considerably less expensive ($52 vs. $1400), it seems like a very good deal. I was actually disappointed in the Tanita scale. It is more expensive than the Innotech and is always being touted as a recommended scale to get. Again the Innotech is less expensive and more accurate in my opinion. The other thing I like about the Innotech that you can’t do with the Naked Labs is if you want to just jump on for a quick weigh in you can. With Naked Labs you have to start the app, adjust the scale, weigh yourself and then wait about 5 minutes for the results. Because of this I only use it about once a month.
